Request: EPG-Filter (1 Viewer)

AW: Re: Request: EPG-Filter

I would find it useful too...

so at least i'm not alone - thank you

There is a WebEPG plugin which has grabbers for TVInfo.de and TVToday.de already setup so perhaps they might work for you?

ok, as far, as i understand by now, i just had to get a grabber-file, that provides me the data, that i need to make the search-funktion suitable for my needs.

i tried a lot today, and as it seems, tvinfo.de provides this data, but the grabber just don't get it.

a pity i have no idea, how to write such a grabber - i even have no idea, where this grabber-file is to be found on my system, so:

or request that someone does this for you

...this is, why i started this thread

is someone willling to help me and change this grabber or write a new one?

AW: Request: EPG-Filter

ok, i've been working long last night - at least i found all the stuff i needed (not where i expected this...) and with some try and error i managed WebEPG to download to download the genre-information from tvinfo.de

this is one step forward, BUT: the genre information is provided in a syntax like:

"movie/drama", "movie/thriller" or "documentation/science" (sometimes even something like: "documentation/science/kids")


now, my question to the xml-freaks : would it be possible to simply "ignore" everything AFTER the first slash?
in this case i had what i wanted: movies, no matther what genre, series, no matter what type of...and so on


would be great, if someone had an idea and could help me - and it would be the last step to change to MP right now


@admins/mods: as this seems not to be a plugin-request anymore, please feel free to move the thread to where it belongs....
